The End of the Game

Daniel 11-12

Biblical apocalyptic visions

• Same events, different emphasis
• Different time horizons

1. Evil will flourish and God’s people will suffer (Chapter 11)
• 4th – 2nd Century BC (11:1-35)
• The Antichrist? (11:36-45)
2. God’s kingdom will come and God’s people will be vindicated (12:1-4)

Universal resurrection

• No oblivion
• All will not necessarily be well

Application

• ‘Go on our way’ – get on with life
• Live for the kingdom
• Look forward to vindication and justice
• Look forward to our rest and reward
